Cross section parameterizations for cosmic-ray nuclei. 2: Double nucleon removal

Abstract

Parameterizations of double nucleon removal from the electromagnetic and strong interactions of cosmic rays with nuclei are presented. These parameterizations are an extension of previous single nucleon removal parameterizations and combined they represent the dominant part of the electromagnetic dissociation encountered by a cosmic ray on its traversal through matter. Such parameterizations should be very useful in studying cosmic-ray transport through the interstellar medium, the Earth's atmosphere, spacecraft walls, and extraterrestrial matter.
